At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Taplow and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Taplow you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Taplow)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Taplow I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Taplow in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
